adjacent end of thetop 7 is a. surface 8'which is gradually curved onto the upper flat surface of the top 7 as shown, I guide to permit the clothand the paper to be readilydrawn over the top and arrangedin a fiat condition upon the surface 9 thereof. 7

I The brackets 2 of the lower series hereinbefore described removably support a roll 10 on Which is wound the pattern paper 11. The brackets of the upper series removably support a roll 12 on which the pad forming cloth 13 is Wound. The upper roll 12 '-1s provldedat one end with a trunnion 14 mounted to revolvein the passage 3 ofthe adjacent bracket 2 while at the opposite'end the roll is provided with a rectangular trunnion 15 which is fitted in the recess 4 in. the other bracket 2. The trunnion 15'is connected permanently to the roll l2,as at 15 and operatively connectedwith the roll and Wlth'the trunmon is a spring 16 which serves to normallyhold the roll under tension and thereby retain the cloth 13 in a Wound condition. The roll 12 is provided with a suitable ratchet detent 17 whereby the cloth may be held against rewinding upon the roll after the same has been extended over the surface 9,0f the table top 1 is a perspective view of thetableyshow'e ing the method of extending the cloth and paper thereover; Fig.2 is a longitudinal portion "of the table,showposed relatively over. the top ofthe table;

and Fig.3 is a section through a portion of trated is providedat one end Withsuperarranged in mating imposed series of brackets 2, the same being pairs and provided respectively with openings and slots 3 and i The brackets 2 are secured by means of suitable fastenings5'to the legs 6 of the table purpose to" be hereinafter referred to.

over the surface 9 and as will behereinafter F described and claimed. the pattern may 7. From this construction it is obviously seen that the free ends of the materials 11 and 13 may be grasped in the handsof the operator as shown in Fig. 2, and extended arranged superimposed thereon andthe paper exposed so that bereadily formed thereon. The arrangement is such as will expedite the operation of arranging the cloth and the paper'in proper relative positions and for holding the same against separation from 1 one another during the cutting operation.

. of the spring 16 It through therelative arrangement of the two- After the cutting operation the under pad forming cloth may be drawn upwardly and outwardly so as to affect the ratchet detent and permit the cloth to be automatically wound ontothe roll.12, under the action will :be observed that rolls referred to the pattern paper when arranged in the positlon shown inFig. 2 Will extend over the space between both rolls, whereby to permit of a knife or pair of SClSSOI'S sald space and manipulated to sever that portion of the pattern which overlies the table top fromthat: portion of the paper provided with i or the like to be extended into thatremains on the roll. This maybe done v;

expeditiously and Without possibility of injuring the backing cloth as Will be understood. v

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction and operationof the invention will be readily understood Without requiring a more extended explanation. Various changes in the form, proportion and theminor details of construction may be resorted to Without departing from the V principle or sacrificing any ofthe advantages of this invention as claimed.

Having thus described ourinvention, what e claim is A tailors pattern cutting table provided with a top having one transverse curved edge merging onto the upper flat surface a pair of brackets securedtothe end of said I .00 m of this patent may be obtained for table, removably mounted roll-in said brackets to receive'the pattern paper, a pair of brackets mounted above the firstmentioned pair of brackets, a revolubly. mounted spring actuated roll removably supported in said brackets, on Which is Wound the pad forming cloth, and spaced longitudinally from the first mentioned roll throughout its length, so that the pattern paper may fiv: cents each, byadd rcssing the fcommissioner of Patents, 1
